Carpenters Treasures-Uk Lyrics
1.Baby It's You(Remix)

Written:Mack David/Burt Bacharach/Barney Williams

It's not the way you smile that touches my heart.
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart.
Many, many nights roll by.
I sit alone at home and cry over you.
What can I do?
Can't help myself,
Cause, baby it's you.

You should hear what they say about you. (cheatin')
They say you've never, never been true. (wow ooooo)
It doesn't matter what they say.
I'm gonna love you any old way,
What can I do when it's true.
Don't want nobody,
Cause, baby it's you.


2.Look To Your Dreams

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true,
But make - believe passion is falling from fashion's milieu.
It's understandable why we're a little confused.
It's asking for trouble just watching the six o-clock news.
But for a moment, all things aside,
Look to your self, somewhere inside.

Look to your dreams,
Don't they still seem worthwhile?
Don't they still seem in style,
Aren't you glad they're still there?
Look to your dreams
There's a need for them now.

When the world has us down, aren't you glad they're around?
Once conceived, once believed, fantasy's reality's childhood.
And like a seed, visions need constant care, like a child would.
We should look to your dreams, we can still make the stars.
We can still break the bars we have built here on earth.

Look to your dreams,
And tomorrow may be better for you and me.
The future may say,
Blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away.
They could mean more then they say.


3.Bless The Beasts And Children(Remix)

Written:Barry Devorzon/Perry Botkin Jr

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

The children
The children


4.I Just Fall In Love Again

Written:S.Dorff/L.Herbstritt/G.Sklerov/H.Lloyd

Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
or am I really lyin' here with you?
Baby, you take me in your arms,
and though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is comin' true.

And, oh, I just fall in love again;
just one touch and then it happens every time.
And there I go, I just fall in love again,
and when I do can't help myself
I fall in love with you.

Magic, it must be magic,
the way I hold you and the night just seems to fly.
Easy for you to take me to a star.
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes. (chorus)

Can't help myself I fall in love with you.


5.Desperado

Lyrics:Glenn Frey
Music:Don Henley

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
but I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy!
She'll beat you, if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table,
but you only want the ones that you can't get.

Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger.
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home.
Freedom, oh, freedom. That's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
You're losin' all your highs and lows.
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin' , but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you (2x)
before it's too late.











































6.Eve(Remix)

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

Eve I can't believe that you could mean what you just said,
Think of what you are, how very far you are from being real,
Look into the mirror--nothing there to see,
Eve I can't believe you'd really leave him.

Notice how her image saddens, how lonely she's become,
Just once I'd like to see her happy, before the winter comes.

Eve I wouldn't lie, the open sky is not your home,
Wide as it may be, reality is here among the stones,
Thorns among the roses add to what is real,
Eve you are a rose among the thorns here.

Notice how her image saddens, how lonely she's become,
Just once I'd like to see her happy, before the winter comes.

I wish her only good times, before the winter comes.


7.Make Believe It's Your First Time

Written:Bob Morrison/Johnny Wilson

We've tried our hand at love before.
We've been around the game enough to know the score.
But then is then, and now is now.
And now is all that matters anyhow.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.

The door is closed, it's you and me.
We'll take our time with love, the way it ought to be.
This moment's ours, tonight's the night.
And if we fall in love, that's all right.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.

So close your eyes and hold me close.
Let our hearts pretend that love is ours to share tonight, and
it might
never end.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.


8.Because We Are In Love (The Wedding Song)

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run thru the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be
No answer ever come to me.

I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today
Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me
Words come so hard
But what my hear says
I will give you.

Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As is you had awoken from a sleep
Because you are in love
You use imagination
And lose you concentration
When someone drops his name
You're back in his arms as always
Your day - dreams work out that way
It's all just a trick you mind plays
The more love grows
The more it stays the same

(Same little girl who's frightened)
But I love him so
(Same little girl who's sure)
That she loves him so
(Sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows)

Because we are in love
We've reach for our tomorrow's
And know we won't be lonely
In laugher and in sorrows
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I
Because we are in love.
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I
Because we are in love.


9.Don't Cry For Me, Argentina

Lyrics:Tim Rice
Music:Andrew Lloyd Webber

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen; I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me, Argentina

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much? There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true


10.Let Me Be The One(Remix)

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Some sleepless night,
if you should find yourself alone,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

To set things right
when this old world's turned upside down,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

For love and understanding,
to find a quiet place;
For silent understanding,
a loving touch.
Come to me when things go wrong
and there's no love to light the way.

Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.


11.Road Ode(Remix)

Lyrics:Gary Sims/Dan Woodhams
Music:Gary Sims/Dan Woodhams

I've been on this lonely road so long
Does anybody know where it goes
I remember the last time
The signs pointed home a month ago

Rented cars and empty motel rooms
Lead you everywhere but home
Crowds of people shouting
How they love the show
They don't know

The endless crowds of faces
Just keep on wearing a smile
The countless times and places lead me back
Please take me back home

I wonder if these feelings ever change
How many times I'll lift this load
Come tomorrow I'll be gone again
Roads of sorrow coming to an end for me

The endless crowds of faces
Just keep on wearing a smile
The countless time and places lead me back
Please take me back home

I wonder if these feelings ever change
How many times I'll lift this load
Come tomorrow I'll be gone again
Roads of sorrow coming to an end for me


12.I Need To Be In Love(Remix)

Written:R.Carpenter/John Bettis/Albert Hammond

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say 'No promises, let's keep it simple'
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

* I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

+ So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

repeat *
repeat +
repeat *


13.Now

Lyrics:Dean Pitchford
Music:Roger Nichols

Now, Now when it rains I don't feel cold.
Now that I have your hand to hold,
The winds might blow through me but I don't care.
There's no harm in thunder if you are there.

And now, now when we touch my feelings fly.
Now when I'm sailing I know why.
You light up my world like the morning sun.
You're so deep within me, we're almost one.
And now all the fears that I had start to fade.
I was always afraid love might forget me, love might let me
down.
Then look what I found.

The winds might blow through me but I don't care.
There's no harm in thunder is you are there.

And now, now, now when I wake there's someone home.
I'll never face the nights alone.
You gave me the courage I need to win, to open my heart and to
let you in.
And I never really knew how, until now, until now.

No, I never really knew how,----until now.


14.Reason To Believe(Remix)

Lyrics:Tim Hardin
Music:Tim Hardin

If I listen long enough to you,
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true,
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried,
Still I looked to find the reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard
To live without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never thinking of myself.

If you took the time to change my mind,
I'd find the way to leave the past behind,
Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried,
Still I looked to find the reason to believe.


15.Help

Written:John Lennon/Paul Mccartney

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.


16.They Long To Be Close To You

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.

Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
